Here are some pics of the kids Thanksgiving shirts and from Thanksgiving. It was a long day for the kids and they were so exhausted. We stayed at Grandma and Grandpa's until 8:00 last night which is much later than we normally stay but I guess as the kids get a little older it gets easier. They were so tired when we left and fell asleep on the way home and are still asleep.
Making our shirts.
Our turkey handprint shirts.
Andrew, Jayden, Sarah, Aubrey, and Grace. All the little cousins!
The cake we took for the kids dessert....bought it at Super Target. I thought it was adorable. They have really cute cakes there. This one is a pull-apart cupcake cake.
Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family. We had a great time and are looking forward to going back for Christmas Eve.
This morning at 3:15 I left my house to go shopping. My awesome father-in-law met me at the mall so I didn't have to be there alone and carry my stuff out to the car when it was still dark. I went to JCPenney's first and it wasn't too bad. I got a couple things in boxes that would have been hard to carry on my own but fortunately I had Wayne with me. Then I went to Target by myself. I knew there would be a lot of people and a line so I wasn't worried. Man, was there ever a line. I've gone to Target the last 2 years and it was never like this. Even the people working were a little surprised. It reminded me of Walmart last year. I got some good deals but only had to buy 2 Christmas presents so most of what I got was just because it was a good price. Were any of you brave enough to go? Next year I need a plan and a friend to go with or maybe I should just stay home! Today I'm going to be super tired but David is only working a half day so when he gets home I can crash if I want and then we are going to start dragging out all the Christmas decorations. I'm really excited to begin to transform my home into Christmas. The problem is doing it so early and the kids asking everyday when it will be Christmas. Ha! I'm so excited that they are old enough to do more things with this year. We already made a gingerbread village (pictures still to come) and next time we plan to buy the gingerbread train. The kids had to pick one this time and next time I told them they can choose one more to decorate. Happy Black Friday!
